It is hard to believe that I am sitting on the side of a mountain at a beautiful retreat center in Hong Kong and be able to stay in contact with friends and family through the internet. The last time I was in Hong Kong (12 years ago) we were still excited when a letter arrived by "slow mail" with news from home. Phone calls were made on rare occasions to the United States because it cost $10 @ minute. Last night my cell phone rang once with an unknown call (sorry, I didn't answer it - it was 1:00 in the afternoon in Indiana and 2:00 AM IN HONG KONG! The group says I need my beauty sleep and besides I was tired). I am not able to download pictures from this site so I will attempt to let you see what I am describing when I return to the States. I hope that you can get "a picture" of what we are experiencing. I am still pinching myself to believe I am really here - meeting old friends and new, eating all the Chinese food I can, and rexperiencing the sights, smells and tastes of Hong Kong.
